Simon yelled in pain, pounding Tracy’s head with his hand while begging her to release him.

But no matter how everyone reacted, Tracy held on tight, her grip fierce like she wanted to tear off a chunk of flesh.

She didn’t even notice what was happening around her; in her mind, a voice repeated, “Tracy, don’t be scared. Even if you can’t win, bite a piece off. Only when they’re scared will they stop bullying you.”

Benjamin and Daphne stepped back to protect Erin, worried she might get hurt. Andrew stood in front of them, shocked and cautious of the wild, crazed Tracy.

He’d never seen her like this before. She looked like an angry stray dog–once she bit, she wouldn’t let go, no matter what.

Liam had already seen Tracy’s wild side today, but still felt shaken. “Tracy, y–you’re crazy! Let go, now!”

The fierce look in Tracy’s eyes didn’t fade, and her mouth stayed locked around Simon’s arm.

In her world right now, there was only one thought–bite down and never let go.

If I let go, they’ll just keep torturing me…

Liam was frozen by her fierce stare, chills running down his spine.

I don’t get it. How did Tracy become this in just two short years?

“Liam…” Erin’s scared voice came softly. “Tracy looks so scary right now. Can you stop her? I’m really scared

Liam snapped back and quickly promised, “Don’t worry, Erin. I won’t let her hurt you.” Then he ran to help pull Tracy off.

Unlike the Dunns, Liam didn’t hit Tracy, but he didn’t stop them either.

After several failed tries, he looked for something to use, his eyes landing on the ashtray on a nearby table.

Without thinking much, all he wanted was to stop Tracy from going crazier–he couldn’t let her hurt Erin.

He grabbed the ashtray and raised it, ready to smash it on Tracy’s head.

Just as he was about to bring it down, a panicked voice shouted, “Stop!”

Bang!

Someone slammed hard into Liam, sending him stumbling toward the side table. The ashtray barely missed Tracy’s ear and shattered on the floor.

Everyone turned to see Franklin being supported by Walter as he appeared at the door. The man who knocked Liam over was one of Franklin’s bodyguards.

Franklin–didn’t look at anyone else. His voice trembled as he pointed at Edmond and Ursula. “Get them off of Tracy! Don’t you dare bully her!”

His bodyguards stepped forward, pulling Edmond, Ursula, and their guards apart. No one dared move Tracy, who still held onto Simon fiercely.

Supported by Walter, Franklin shakily walked toward Tracy, eyes full of pain.

Liam, still hurting from the collision, hurried to stop him. “Grandpa, don’t come closer! Tracy’s gone crazy! She-”

Slap!

A loud slap cut off Liam’s words.

Franklin seemed to put all his strength into it, chest rising and falling with rage.

His disappointed eyes locked on Liam. “That’s the girl you called your sister for 18 years, and you just tried to hit her with something so hard?

“Do

you want her dead or what?!”

Liam froze, eyes falling on the broken ashtray on the floor. Realizing what he had just done, his face drained of color.

Franklin didn’t say more. Instead, he rushed to Tracy’s side, shaking off Walter’s hand and practically throwing himself onto her.

He gently stroked her hair, voice shaking as he whispered, “Tracy, don’t be afraid. I’m here now. It’s okay…”

Tracy looks menacing now, but to Franklin, it broke his heart.

My dear Tracy, once bright, gentle, and obedient–how much pain has she suffered to become like this?

Franklin felt like his heart was being squeezed so tight he could barely breathe.

“It’s my fault. I didn’t protect you… ”

“1

His voice cut through the fog, breaking into Tracy’s world. Slowly, she started to come back, unclenching her tightly pressed teeth.

Freed, Simon yanked his hand back and scrambled away like he feared she’d bite him again.

Tracy’s eyes focused on Franklin, clearing.

“Grandpa…”

Her voice held hurt and fear, like a lot was bottled inside her, wanting to come out.

After a long pause, she asked softly, “Why are you here? Are you feeling okay?”

The doctors had told them Franklin shouldn’t leave the hospital or overexert himself.
